If the Three Wise Men had been Three Wise Women:

They would have asked for directions,

arrived on time,

helped deliver the baby,

cleaned the stable,

made a casserole,

and brought practical gifts.

(Am I right, Ladies?)

BTW, This picture was taken at the North Rim of Grand Canyon this past Sept.

Yes I do!

Squirrels are just rats in cuter outfits.
~Sarah Jessica Parker~

We've had a squirrel problem forever. Most of the birdseed goes to the squirrels, which is frustrating and expensive. It seems that the squirrel population increased while we were on our trip and we had decided to stop feeding the birds altogether. But, we love the birds and missed them very much. Friends have suggested poisoning, shooting, even electrocuting the squirrels, but we don't kill ANYTHING in our house. Remember, Hubby captures copperheads and takes them to an undisclosed location.

So, Hubby decided to buy a live, humane trap to capture and release the furry varmints. He's staying busy taking the squirrels away (same undisclosed location as snakes). Hopefully, the squirrels don't have a GPS and will not return.

It's a good thing the live trap is working because I was ready to take matters into my own hands (er, paws).

Buddy, please stop ordering things off the internet. Besides, you'd probably shoot your eye out!

PS. We had some snow flurries Sat. morn, but it didn't stick or last very long...POOH!

Happy Trails,

Snow in Dixie

We're still waiting for the snow tonight. I have the deck flood lights on so I can monitor the situation from the warmth of my bed.

Those of you who did experience the southern snowstorm today, remember your doggies aren't accustomed to the white stuff and might need some help with their normal routines and "business."

I had a few questions regarding the dogs' Santa hats on the header picture...It was very easy, by using: http://bighugelabs.com/captioner.php

After you upload photo, you don't have to add a caption, just scroll to the bottom of page and choose Santa hats, then click and drag to photo.

Cats are smarter than dogs.
You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow.

(Mom made me say that...we all know cats are not smarter than dogs...

Except our favorite feline, Madi!)

We have snow in the forecast this weekend!!!

We've been doing our snow dance!

Gumbie- Yukon Quest Poster Dog

Remember Gumbie, Warren and Kate Palfrey's sled dog who didn't particularly like to run, was adopted by Doug, and is now living the "Good Life" in Oklahoma?

Well, you'll never believe who was selected as the 2010 Yukon Quest Poster Dog! You guessed it, Good Old Gumbie. His handsome face will appear on posters, patches, pins, etc. while he relaxes by the pool in Oklahoma with his new fur-ever family.

Lilly, Max and Gumbie

From Tugline, the YQ newsletter:

When Kate and Warren Palfrey saw this photo of Gumbie, taken by photographerJohn Gaedeke, they predicted this lovely dog would win us over with his noble posture and handsome face. And they were right! Gumbie is the inspiration for our 2010 Yukon Quest merchandise design, a project currently in the works with the help of volunteer artist Amber Walker.

But it was more than Gumbie’s fine features that eventually landed him title of 2010 Yukon Quest "Pin and Patch Dog". According to Kate, Gumbie is an "absolute love junkie". He loves to give big hugs by wrapping his paws around his human-friends and squeezing tight!

Gumbie is also an accomplished Yukon Quest veteran, finishing 9th alongside Warren Palfrey’s team in February of 2009. After running a number of races with Warren in the Northwest Territories, this was the 5-year-old sled dog’s first Yukon Quest.
Seen here beneath the Finish Line of the 2009 Yukon Quest, Gumbie looks right at home, sitting in one of his favourite poses. We’re honoured to have Gumbie as the Yukon Quest’s 2010 Poster Dog.
